Connecting the Antenna
Powering Your Scanner
To connect an external antenna, always follow the installation instructions supplied with the antenna. Use 50-ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8X, to connect an outdoor antenna. For lengths between 50 and 100 feet, use RG-8X low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. For lengths over 100 feet, use RG8. You also may need a BNC adapter (not supplied).
You can power your scanner with four AA batteries (not supplied), or an external power source.
To attach the supplied antenna: 1.
Align the antenna slots with the tabs on the scanner, and slide the antenna into place.
2.
Turn while pushing down until the antenna locks into place.
Warning: Use extreme caution when installing or removing an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, touching the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and death. Call the power company to remove the antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.
Batteries When battery power is low, battery symbol flashes and the scanner beeps every 30 seconds. When battery power is depleted, the scanner turns itself off. For the longest operation and best performance, use alkaline batteries, available at your local RadioShack store, or use RadioShack 1600 mAh nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver more power if you let them fully discharge once a month. To do this, use the scanner until battery symbol flashes. Warning: Never install nonrechargeable batteries in the yellow rechargeable battery holder. Non-rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge them.
Attaching the Belt Clip To carry your scanner, slide the supplied belt clip down on the back of the scanner. To remove the belt clip, pull the tab out and slide the clip upward.

Installation
Installation
If you use an external power source for regular operation, install alkaline batteries for emergencies. Rechargeable batteries will self-discharge, even when not used, and could have no usable power.
Keytones and Keylock
Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 400 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner’s PWR DC 9V jack. Using an adaptor that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adaptor.
To set the keytone:
Headphones and Speakers You can plug headphones or an amplified speaker (neither included) into your scanner’s headphone jack. This automatically mutes the scanner’s speaker. Even though some earphones/headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard. To protect your hearing, follow these earphone or headphones guidelines: •
•
•
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. Set the volume to the lowest setting before listening. Turn on the scanner, and adjust the volume to a comfortable level. After you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

Your scanner saves frequencies to channels and groups the channels into banks. The scanner’s 10 banks each hold 100 channels (1,000 channels total). The scanner is preset to the most common AM or FM receive modes for each frequency range. However, some amateur transmissions may operate in a different mode. If the transmission sounds weak or distorted, you may have the channel set to the wrong receive mode: AM – Amplitude Modulation, primarily used for aircraft, military, some amateur and government transmissions. FM – Frequency Modulation, used for most public safety transmissions, broadcast, business, and most amateur radio transmissions. CT – FM transmissions with Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) DC – FM transmissions with Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) MO – Motorola Trunking System ED – EDACS Trunking System LT – LTR Trunking System

Trunking Setup
Trunking Setup
Trunking Setup Instead of transmitting on a specific frequency, trunking systems choose one of several frequencies during a 2-way radio transmission and simultaneously transmit a Talk Group ID that identifies the 2-way radio user. This allows trunking systems to allocate fewer frequencies to multiple 2-way radio users.
Defining a Trunking Bank You can define any of the 10 banks as a trunking bank, but each bank can only scan for one system: Motorola, EDACS (GE/Ericsson), or LTR (EF Johnson). Note: Trunking banks can contain both trunking and non-trunking channels. For information about saving frequencies into channels, refer to “Defining a Channel” on page 18. To define a Trunking Bank: 1.
Press PROG, then press TRUNK to enter the ID program mode.
2.
Press FUNC, then use S or T to select a bank.
3.
Repeatedly press MODE to select a trunking mode (Motorola, EDACS, or LTR).
4.
Press PROG.
Trunking Modes In Closed mode, the scanner stops only on transmissions with saved and unlocked Talk Group IDs. This lets you focus a scan on the
38
frequencies you have identified, ignoring other transmissions. In Open mode, the scanner stops for transmissions on any unlocked channel. This lets you search for Talk Group IDs that you can then save. While scanning, “–” appears for Closed mode and “+” appears for Open mode under the channel storage bank’s number. When the scanner stops on a channel, ”OPEN” or “CLOSED” appears. To set Open or Closed mode for a bank: 1.
Press MAN.

Motorola Trunking Setup Motorola systems can allocate as few as five frequencies or up to several thousand groups of users in three categories: •
Type I – User groups are assigned to fleets. To scan, you must program a fleet map into the scanner.
•
Type II – The Talk Group ID contains 4 or 5 digit numbers.
•
Hybrid – Combines Type I and Type II formats. Note: For information about saving frequencies into channels, refer to “Defining a Channel” on page 18.

EDACS Trunking Setup EDACS (GE/Ericsson) systems transmit Talk Group ID data on a dedicated control channel. Scanning requires clear reception of the control channel at all times, so EDACS systems generally have a smaller usable area. You can manually select the data channel, but an external antenna can greatly improve EDACS scanning. If you are programming frequencies for an EDACS system, you must store them in the Logical Channel Number order (usually listed as LCN#). Note: For information about saving frequencies into channels, refer to “Defining a Channel” on page 18.
LTR Trunking Setup LTR systems assign each frequency a Home Repeater (HR) number and are frequently programmed with unique ID codes for each radio. LTR Talk Group IDs are organized in a specific order, and to scan, you must program the frequencies in HR order. LTR systems are used primarily by businesses, such as taxicabs, delivery trucks, and repair services.
43
Trunking Setup

Trunking Delay
In each bank, you can mix conventional channels and frequencies in a bank. However, you can scan only one trunking mode at a time, either EDACS, Motorola, or LTR.
You can set a Talk Group ID delay separately from the channel delay. When active, the scanner checks the Talk Group ID for the delay time when a transmission ends.
Press SCAN. The scanner scans through unlocked channels in active banks. To focus on trunk scanning, you can turn off banks that contain only conventional channels. To change the scanning direction, press S or T.
To set a Talk Group ID delay:
For Motorola channels, your scanner displays the Talk Group ID memory location, received frequency, voice channel (VC), and the Motorola ID number. Notes: •
•
•
Your scanner automatically mutes the audio while it decodes control channel data. However, we recommend you turn SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the hiss stops. This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel. For Motorola trunking systems, more than one talk group can transmit at a time. If you manually tune the scanner, you will hear the talk group on that channel, but the display will alternate between all active Talk Group IDs. For EDACS and Motorola (above 406 MHz range), the scanner monitors the control channel between each transmission to identify talk groups. For some Motorola (under 512 MHz range) and LTR systems, the scanner uses the subaudible data sent with each transmission to identify talk groups.

Additional Information Issue
Solution
If the scanner displays the text tag for a transmission, press TEXT. The ID code appears.
The scanner is on but does not scan.
Turn SQ clockwise.
Press TEXT again to cancel.
The squelch might not be adjusted correctly.
Troubleshooting Issue
Solution
The scanner is not working at all. The AC or DC adaptor might not be connected.
Be sure the adaptor’s barrel plug is fully inserted into the PWR DC 9V jack. The center tip of the adaptor’s barrel plug must be set to positive.
The batteries might be dead or need to be recharged.
Recharge the rechargeable batteries or replace the standard batteries.
If the scanner does not operate when you connect a DC adaptor, the DC adaptor socket might be dirty.
Unplug the DC adaptor from the power source and clean the socket, or check the adaptor’s internal fuse.
The scanner does not receive any stations or reception is poor.
Check the antenna.
Cause:
Check the squelch.
Cause: Check the Attenuator.
Antenna might not be connected correctly. Squelch setting might be too sensitive causing it to pick up unwanted, partial or weak transmissions.
Turn the scanner off then on again, or initialize the scanner.
Antenuator might be on so your scanner might not receive weak signals.
Save more frequencies into channels.
Cause:
Turn off keylock.
There might only be one channel or no channels stored in the scanner. The keylock might be turned on. Error message appears when trying to upload or download from a computer.
Download and install the “Windows XP Driver to resolve PC connection error” file from your scanner’s Product Support page or the Software Download page on www.RadioShack.com.
Cause: Your computer is using Windows XP and does not have the necessary USB cable driver.
Then make your connection and try again. Be sure the correct COM port is selected in device manager.
Birdie Frequencies All scanners have signals created inside the scanner’s receiver. These birdie frequencies can interfere with transmissions on the same frequencies. If the interference is not severe, you might be able to turn SQ clockwise to omit the birdie. To find the birdies: 1. Disconnect the antenna and move it away from the scanner. Make sure that no other
